Booting a Standalone Switch

The OmniSwitch 6850 Series switch does not use an on/off switch. The power cord is the switch’s only connect/disconnect device. The power connector socket is located on the switch’s rear panel. For more information, refer to the

OmniSwitch 6850 Series Hardware Users Guide.

To boot the switch, plug the power cord (provided) into the power connector socket at the switch’s rear panel. Next, plug the power cord into an easily-accessible power source, such as a grounded AC outlet or an Uninterruptible Power Supply

(UPS).

The switch immediately begins the boot process. Allow a few moments for the switch to boot completely, then verify the status of all LEDs on the switch’s front panel. A successful boot for a standalone switch displays the following LED states:
